Sometimes there are some inherited shareplex processes, it may affect the replication:

When LD_ASSUME_KERNEL envirnoment variable is used it changes the kernel behavior
[oracle@alvsupl04 install]$ echo $LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
2.4.19
Workaround:
$unset LD_ASSUME_KERNEL
then Restart sp_cop.
LD_ASSUME_KERNEL changed kernel behavior.
This variable is normally used when oracle installed on a higher(incompatible) linux version.
For example, oracle 9i installed on redhat 4.
It is possible to mis-use the variable, for example, oracle 10.2 installed on redhat4.
If this varible is set, the listener may inherit child process too.
